THEN
2020
In 2020, cornet player and composer Ron Miles (MMus’89) released his last album, Rainbow Sign. A fixture in the Denver music scene, Miles’ warm jazz melodies dazzled audiences. He last served as director of jazz studies at Metropolitan State University of Denver, where he taught for more than 30 years. Miles died on March 8, 2022, from complications from a blood disorder.
“If you played a Ron Miles song right, in the best of moods you'd be crying,” pianist Jason Moran told NPR in March 2022.
